How to produce report cards on Kairo CORE
What it is
Report cards on Kairo CORE are the end of a connected academic chain: assessments registered with their marks and weights, marks captured per subject, performance reviewed, then grades generated against your own grading scale and published to the portal.
Why it matters
End-of-term report writing is the classic school bottleneck — spreadsheets, copy-paste and formatting evenings. When marks already carry weights and grades resolve against a defined scale, the report becomes a batch generation instead of a manual assembly, and families get results in the portal at the same moment the school does.
Steps
- Register assessments — each test or exam gets a maximum mark and a weight towards the term grade.
- Capture marks — enter marks per subject, per class, in Marks Entry.
- Review performance analytics — check class performance before anything is published.
- Generate report cards — produce reports per class, graded on your grading scale with descriptors.
- Publish to the portal — students and guardians see published results alongside the report card.
Tips
- Register every assessment at the start of the term with correct weights — weights are what make final grades add up without recalculation.
- Set up grading scales with descriptors first (Distinction, Needs Improvement, and so on), so report comments read in words, not just numbers.
- Treat performance analytics as your moderation checkpoint: it is the last point to fix a marking error before publication.
- Publish once, per class batch — families receive the portal result and the report card as a single outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Can we use our own grading scheme?
Yes — grading scales define mark bands with descriptors, and the active scale is applied automatically when marks are graded.
Do parents and students see the results?
Yes — once published, results appear in the student portal and on the report card, matching what the school issued.
When should we publish?
After reviewing analytics — the last reliable point to moderate marks while changes are still possible.
